  • Description
    An Act to continue an Act passed in 1815. Under the original Act, any person found baking and selling bread without a license is subject to certain penalties. Directions for the distribution of licenses were also outlined in the 1815 Act, as well as stipulations relating to the production and sale of bread. Under this Act, the licenses are to be distributed by Justices of the Peace, where the former Act vested this authority in the Courts of Quarter Sessions of the Peace. This Act is to continue in force until 1819.
